Spotted cleaner shrimp on an anemone. These 2 creatures have a symbiotic relationship where the shrimp provides parasite removal services and the anemone protects the shrimp from predators.

As soon as we crested the reef head at Karpata in Bonaire we encountered a group of file fish feeding on Moon Jellyfish. By swimming directly under the jellyfish and shooting towards the surface, I could photograph them with the sunlight coming through their translucent bodies, using my strobes as a key light. Ikelite housing, dual Ikelite 125 strobes, Canon 5D MKII and Canon 17-40L lens.
